Wildcat is a steel roller coaster built by German manufacturer Schwarzkopf currently located at Adventure Park USA in New Market, Maryland, USA.
History
The ride first opened at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 1976 called Die Wildkatze. It closed in 1983. The station for Big Bad Wolf stood where Die Wildkatze once stood.
It was relocated to Playland Park in Rye, New York, USA, where it operated under the name Wild Cat from 1984 to 1991. Then, the ride was relocated to Steel Pier, where it also operated as Wildcat. From 2001 to 2005 the coaster operated at Williams Grove Amusement Park in Pennsylvania.
